The world's 27 most hipster neighbourhoods

25. Banglamphu, Bangkok

The north Bangkok neighbourhood of Banglamphu saw a 1,230 per cent growth in Airbnb stays, the second highest, in 2015, and is said to be known for its "ever-evolving marketplace and bar scene" on Khaosan Road, where you find noodle shops on the ground floors of apartment buildings. With local food vendors and cafes surrounding the old Bangkok area, it comes alive with music by night, such as at the "not-to-be-missed" Jazz Happens, where visitors can mingle with local musicians and university students.
